What do I need to know about Fura de nunu.........

Fura de nunu is a local drink derived from fresh cow milk. It is popular in the northern part of Nigeria and a choice brand for most people.  I've seen quiet a couple of people enjoy this drink but the question is this..How safe is it drinking raw milk from he teats of dairy cows? Is it healthy eating local milk dishes such as fura de nunu which is popularly served in many parts of the country with herdsmen?  Let us not forget that fura de nunu  is made from unpasteurized milk.

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body.
